Say Hello to the new TUAW


Almost four years ago, tuaw.com went live with a flurry of posts by future superblogger extraordinaire Barb Dybwad. Sporting our "default" theme at the time, The Unofficial Apple Weblog's design evolved into what you see today: a Mac-inspired theme with an upbeat, colorful logo. In the interim we've seen Apple bust out a few new product categories and drop the "computer" from the company moniker. It wasn't that long ago that the rainbow logo went out, and the sleeker monochrome logo came in.

As Apple evolves, so does TUAW. I'm proud to announce something we've been working on (along with the iPhone-tuned i.tuaw.com) for a while now: the new TUAW.com design and logo.

We hope this helps you, as readers, find what you're looking for quickly. Big stories will appear up top, plus our popular categories such as Mac 101 and our ongoing App Store coverage. There's even the no-iPhone page, where you may read TUAW 99%-free of any iPhone coverage, if that's the way you choose to roll. We've added breaking stories and featured stories to the right, so when releases appear in Software Update or we review new stuff, you'll see it after it moves off the front page. Our handy Tip of the Day keeps you informed, and our AAPL stock widget keeps you happily up-to-date with the markets (or sadly up-to-date, depending).

Other features include our TUAW videos from WWDC and Macworld, courtesy of the Truveo widget (the videos are also reachable via the iPhone/iPod touch Truveo search app). Our TUAW Flickr pool is back, so tag any Apple-related posts "TUAW" (no quotes) to have them magically appear. We hope you enjoy our improved comment UI for iPhone use, and the re-appearance of our tag cloud and comment stats.

Thanks for reading TUAW! We have no idea what the next four years hold in store for Apple, but we'll be among the first to report, analyze and dissect it.

UPDATE: Former TUAWian Laurie Duncan points out TUAW's punk rock roots back when we were apple.weblogsinc.com. Indeed, thank you Laurie!

Thank you to those who said they loved the old logo I designed back in 2006, and congrats on the redesign.

Great looking! And I love the not-iPhone feature. Was really looking for this since weeks!

Any way one can get the RSS as well without iPhone articles?

I like the new look. The iPhone-friendly i.tuaw.com still sports the gaudy old logo, though. MUST FIX!

Ok, with Firefox and Ad-Blocker the ads disappear (I was using Google Chrome before).

Definitely better than the previous one... more innovative and surely more clean looks... It's fabulous, and congrats on the 4th birthday!

Am I the only one who notices the much quicker scrolling on the new TUAW?? Yes, the new design looks fantastic, but the experience is now also what it should be. Before, something about that center-frame-over-a-fixed-background made scrolling feel horribly slow and jerky. Now she's smooth like buttah! Well done. Upgrade complete!

Redesign: Awesome

Losing the old logo: :(

Sorry, I just don't know where the rest of the apple is. I see the leaf/stem, but now it's all by its lonesome (like my bag of weed, if I were the type of person to do that kind of thing, which I am, just kidding, I'm not).
